JD House / Studio Arthur Casas
Overlooking the sea, a sand-colored volume mimetically accommodates itself amidst the lush green vegetation, in full integration with nature. Facing the Baleia beach, on São Paulo coast, JD House is the ideal spot for a family composed of a couple and their 4 adult sons to meet each other and rest. The clients, who are used to hosting friends and tend to visit the coast weekly, desired spacious and private environments -- although still connected to the natural surroundings. To achieve this, a large span in the living room was designed, with only one circular pillar at its end, supporting the entire slab and the external cover cantilever. The result brings a great visual permeability inside out: both beach and dense lateral landscaping seem to penetrate the residence, as interior and exterior are well connected. To solve this structural challenge, we designed a large inverted prestressed beam, which also serves as a guardrail for the upper floor suites.
